Alaska: During the recent summit held in Alaska between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump, an unusual but highly secretive security measure came to light. Reports suggest that Putin’s bodyguards carried what has been referred to as a “poop suitcase.” This special suitcase contained the Russian president’s bodily waste, collected to be securely transported back to Russia.

According to The Express US, this extraordinary protocol is part of a long-standing security routine implemented by Russia’s Federal Protection Service (FPS). The main objective is to prevent foreign intelligence agencies from obtaining critical biological samples that could reveal sensitive information about Putin’s health, medications, or genetic data. Investigative journalists Regis Gente and Mikhail Rubin documented that this practice dates back at least to 2017 during Putin’s visits abroad and may have been in place since he first assumed office in 1999.

The process involves specially designed bags for collecting the president’s waste, which are then stored in a dedicated, secure suitcase. The security team accompanying the president ensures that this waste never leaves their custody while on foreign soil. This measure reportedly also includes the use of portable restrooms and other arrangements to maintain utmost secrecy and control over Putin’s biological material during international trips.
